Mayor Black asked for a report on the 1978 bond status. Administrative Assistant
Plotz replied that City Attorney Schantzen has sent the necessary material to Mr.
Bob Sander of Juran & Moody, Inc. and is awaiting a response. It appears the money
will not be available until approximately the middle of August. It will, therefore,
be necessary to borrow from the sewer and water account to pay the 1978 bills for
projects completed. Once the bond money is available, the money borrowed will be
replaced in the sewer and water account.
A motion was made by Alderman Peterson to authorize paying the above stated bills
and authorize borrowing from the sewer and water account to cover expenses of 1978
projects. Seconded by Huntwork, the motion unanimously carried.
